Building up a set, my DJ playlists, and opinion on the Trance scene

Oftentimes when some people think about music genres, they think binary. It’s either this or that. It’s either House or Trance. It’s either Techno or Psy-Trance. But I think of genres as a spectrum, like the adjustable sliders in photo editing apps.

Music from Alpha Tracks, Cybernet, Reaky, Pjotr G, Dubiosity, Spray, Pig&Dan, John 00 Fleming, Antithet, Jamie Baggotts, and Whirloop

As part of the Curation’s Best of 2023 campaign, the editorial team over Beatportal put together a list of each curator’s top artists, labels, and tracks of the year

As we bid farewell to 2023, I’ve curated three Best Of charts for the genres I oversee

The Beatportal editorial team asked me to choose my top two tracks from both the Trance (Main Floor) and Trance

Music from Hedustma, Alan Backdrop, Lucinee, Oprofessionell, Repulsive Force, Ambeam, Incolumis, DECO 5000, Nordic Echoes, Facade, My Flower, and Darse.

Since arguing about genres can be endless, I’ve created audio example playlists of how I define them.
